    Hi,

    i'm running a 2.4.24 kernel with devfsd running and i'm trying to get a
    2.6.11 kernel running. My grub's /boot/grub/device.map contains these
    entries:

    (fd0) /dev/floppy/0
    (hd0) /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc

    Can i change the above to
    (fd0) /dev/floppy/0
    (hd0) /dev/hda

    when i prevent devfsd to start up at boot? (editing /etc/default/devfsd)

    My 2.6 kernel wasn't booting and i haven't yet found out why but i
    noticed something weird was going on with grub. All the files in
    /boot/grub where older that they should be.
    So reinstalled grub, then did a update-grub and a grub-install /dev/hda
    but this failed (my /boot partition is /dev/hda1, root is /dev/hda2):
    /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc does not have any corresponding
    BIOS drive.
    If then restarted devfsd and the grub-install then worked.

    So as said, now i'm wondering if i shut down devfsd and restart will I
    need to change the entry for (hd0) in /boot/grub/device.map to /dev/hda
    or leave it as /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc ?

    Thanks
    Benedict
